MISCHIEF PUTS A BRAND NEW SPIN ON MINIATURE GOLF
July 7, 2007

Almost everyone has enjoyed a round of mini golf at least once in their life. Perhaps on vacation at a course decorated with pirates and waterfalls, or at a local sports complex where the hills and tricky bank shots are key to a good round. In the past, the uniqueness of a course was dictated by the layout of the holes themselves, but changes are coming that will force many course owners to find new ways to create a distinctive experience for their customers.

Once adopted by the Department of Justice, the new ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines for newly constructed and altered miniature golf courses will have a noticeable impact on course layout. These guidelines will greatly decrease the number of obstacles and slopes that a hole can have and still remain within compliance. This year KnA Games has two new releases that will help course owners offer their customers a fun and challenging experience, without relying solely on the design of the course itself.

With Mischief Mini Golf Card Game, memorable moments are created with cards that the players carry with them throughout the round. The cards effect game play in various ways, such as causing players to make a shot in a particular way, or allowing a free shot on a just missed putt. With Mischief Spinners, players spin a wheel before they attempt their first shot on a hole, and the wheel will land on a fun task for each player to try. Both Mischief Mini Golf Card Game and Mischief Spinners cause every hole to become more fun and challenging, which is good for players and course owners alike. The best part is, it doesn’t matter if the players are playing a complex hole with steep slopes and tons of obstacles or a more simple ADA compliant hole, the experience will be fun!

Mischief creators Kevin & April Cox of Archdale , NC founded KnA Games in 2004. In their many trips to different vacation areas, one constant that was enjoyed on every trip was Miniature Golf. Their love of mini golf prompted them to create a fun enhancement, which is based on KnA Games popular first release “Ript” and it sequel “Ript Revenge” both of which enhance a round of Disc Golf in a similar way. As Mischief was developed and tested it turned out to be even more fun that its Disc Golf counterparts. For more information on Mischief be sure to visit the KnA Games web site at www.knagames.com.
